# Tint end-to-end tests
|
|
|
|
This repo contains a large number of end-to-end tests at `<tint>/test`.
|
|
|
|
## Test files
|
|
|
|
Test input files have either the `.wgsl`, `.spv` or `.spvasm` file extension.
|
|
|
|
Each test input file is tested against each of the Tint backends. There are `<number-of-input-files>` × `<number-of-tint-backends>` tests that are performed on an unfiltered end-to-end test run.
|
|
|
|
Each backend test can have an **expectation file**. This expectation file sits next to the input file, with a `<input-file>.expected.<format>` extension. For example the test `test/foo.wgsl` would have the HLSL expectation file `test/foo.wgsl.expected.hlsl`.
|
|
|
|
An expectation file contains the expected output of Tint, when passed the input file for the given backend.
|
|
|
|
If the first line of the expectation file starts `SKIP`, then the test will be skipped instead of failing the end-to-end test run. It is good practice to include after the `SKIP` a reason for why the test is being skipped, along with any additional details, such as compiler error messages.
|
|
|
|
## Running
|
|
|
|
To run the end-to-end tests use the `<tint>/test/test-all.sh` script, passing the path to the tint executable as the first command line argument.
|
|
|
|
You can pass `--help` to see the full list of command line flags.\
|
|
The most commonly used flags are:
|

|
|
| flag | description |
|
|
|----------------------|-------------|
|
|
|`--filter` | Filters the testing to subset of the tests. The filter argument is a glob pattern that can include `*` for any substring of a file or directory, and `**` for any number of directories.<br>Example: `--filter 'expressions/**/i32.wgsl'` will test all the `i32.wgsl` expression tests.
|
|
|`--format` | Filters the tests to the particular backend.<br>Example: `--format hlsl` will just test the HLSL backend.
|
|
|`--generate-expected` | Generate expectation files for the tests that previously had no expectation file, or were marked as `SKIP` but now pass.
|
|
|`--generate-skip` | Generate `SKIP` expectation files for tests that are not currently passing.
|
|

|
## Authoring guidelines
|
|
|
|
Each test should be as small as possible, and focused on the particular feature being tested.
|
|
|
|
Use sub-directories whenever possible to group similar tests, and try to keep the pattern of directories as consistent as possible between different tests. This helps filter tests using the `--filter` glob patterns.
